The best way is to leave it on the tank and install another tank. Just a opinion....

Agree with Charlie 100% on this one. Most everyone regrets removing it after they do the deed and usually end up messing it up at least a little. A 45 year old car can probably use a new gas tank anyway.

the best thing to do is cut it out still attached to the tank and put it in a secure area

There's a good chance the tank has pin holes on the bottom anyway. I hardly ever saw a Corvette tank that didn't have an inch or so of water in the bottom.
I had to replace the tank in my '68 and still have it (with the sticker attached) stored above my garage. The car is long gone but much of the stuff I replaced is still around. BTW, Anyone need a complete smog pump and brackets for a '68 427 Corvette?

Maybe be off the topic a bit, but if one choses to cut or repair a tank, after it is cleaned out, through in a few pounds of dry ice. That will displace the 02 and may keep you off the local news too.
I have seen some old welders ( like Shoney. ) use this trick on small aircraft tanks.
